Hamilton Food Share, CBC team up for food bank drive

Hamilton Food Share and CBC Hamilton are teaming up for a holiday food drive.

Beginning Friday Dec. 7 and running through Dec. 21, the public is invited to stop by the CBC Hamilton office at 118 James Street North and drop off a donation of canned or non-perishable food between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Can't make it to CBC Hamilton's office with food but want to make a cash donation by phone? Until Dec. 31, call the Sounds of the Season donation hotline at 1-877-867-9288 and support your local food bank.

As a special thank you, anyone dropping off a donation can enter to win a CBC Sounds of the Season gift package. The draw will be made Dec. 21.
